Score preferences
The Score pane contains the following preferences:
When Show Advanced Tools is selected in Advanced preferences, the following are available:
•
“Double-click to open” pop-up menu: Determines the window that opens when you double-click
a note head: Note Attributes, Event List, Piano Roll Editor, or Step Editor.
•
“Use external symbol font (if available)” checkbox: Allows the use of external fonts in the score.
•
Choose Font pop-up menu: Choose from any installed scoring (symbol) fonts, such as the
Sonata font.
•
“Auto split notes in multi staff chord styles” checkbox and “Split notes at” slider: The “Auto split
notes in multi staff chord styles” preference is only relevant if the chosen default staff style (on
the recording track) is polyphonic, and is using MIDI channels for voice assignment. In this
situation, newly recorded notes are automatically saved with the different MIDI channels used
in the corresponding staff style. They are allocated as per the split point set with the “Split
notes At” preference.
When Additional Score Options is selected in Advanced preferences, the following are
available:
•
“Show region selection colored” checkbox: If this option is selected, the staff lines of the currently
selected MIDI region are displayed in color. All other regions are displayed with black staff
lines. This can be useful when changing the display parameters of regions, as the parameters
in the Region inspector only affect the currently selected regions. If this option is unselected,
all staffs are displayed in black, whether selected or not.
•
“Display distance values in inches” checkbox: This setting relates to the measurement units in the
project settings and page rulers (Page Score view only), which can be in inches or centimeters.
If not selected, the Page Score view defaults to centimeters.
•
Selection Color button: Choose the color of selected objects in the Score Editor. A Reset button
also provides quick access to the default color (if it has been changed).
•
Camera Tool: Write to buttons: Choose either the Clipboard or a PDF File as the destination for
image exports with the Camera tool.
